When Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in as Prime Minister in late 2015, there were expectations of an increased cosmopolitanism in Australian foreign policy. Pundits expected a touch of Davos after Tony Abbott's insular term. Mr Abbott had greatness thrust upon him in foreign policy terms with Australia's United Nations (UN) Security Council term and the G20 presidency in the Brisbane 2014 summit secured by the Labor Government under Rudd and Gillard. However, Abbott never warmed to the role of global diplomat, more engaged in the foreign policy issues arising from boat turn-backs. By 2016, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop had carved out a leading role in foreign policy that Malcolm Turnbull was happy to continue, due to simmering unrest within the party requiring his constant attention.
